What is recorded here

Three-arch road bridge over river, extant 1798. Damaged, 1920. Part creeper- or ivy-covered roughcast walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (north) elevation having moss-covered pyramidal capping with roughcast coping to parapets. Series of three segmental arches with roughcast voussoirs. Sited spanning Corock River with unkempt grass banks to river.

A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford: meanwhile, a largely obliterated benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
